June, I9I5-] DaVIS : NORTHERN FLORIDA OrTHOPTERA. 91 



Mr. Edwards returned in August, 1890, bringing wonderful treas- 

 ures which I saw when I came home from the mountains in October. 

 He never seemed very strong after this, was often ill and frequently 

 depressed mentally. But he kept up his work at the theatre through 

 the winter of 1890-91 and in the early spring. But in April, 1891, 

 while with his company in Baltimore he broke down utterly, gave up 

 and came home. His last letter to me was written on May 3, 1891, 

 and is a very sad one. He writes of his decision to leave the stage 

 for the time, saying, " I have talked the matter over with Mr. Daly " 

 (his manager) "who was very kind and thoughtful and we both 

 thought it best that I should stop acting and get a ong rest. I feel 

 in fact almost a broken man and am really powerless to do anything. 

 I shall go away to the country next week and hope the change will 

 do me good. Even the thought of entomology does not rouse me 

 as it used to do. All my energy and strength seem gone." And 

 again, '"' I regret I could not see you before you went away, but I 

 can scarcely crawl about, my limbs are so weary." I received this 

 letter in Franconia and, of course, answered it at once. While wait- 

 ing and hoping for better tidings the news came to me of his death 

 in New York on June 9. 



Our entomological journals of that time all had full notices of 

 his life and work. I, myself, have written here only of my own per- 

 sonal relations with this kindly, courteous, warm-hearted, generous 

 man, my valued friend.
